Chapter 41: Luo City
There are tens of thousands of stone seats around the Beast Horn Arena, and now these stone chairs are almost fully occupied. The sea of black heads stretches all the way to the end of one's line of sight. Such a crowd is worthy of being the largest competition in Qingyang Town in years.
Lin's family, led by Lin Zhen Tian, directly entered the central area of the Beast Horn Arena, which was also the best spot for viewing. From here, they could not only look down at the dense forest below but also clearly see the scenery on the giant platform.
Most of those who can enter this area are influential forces in Qingyang Town and within a hundred miles, and the Lin family has maintained good relations with these forces. Therefore, after entering here, many people came to greet them, and were finally received by Lin Zhen Tian with a smile.
After some socializing, Lin Zhentian led the crowd to sit down on a stone chair. Not far from them were people from the Lei and Xie families. However, they only glanced at the Lin family's crowd and then withdrew their gaze, no matter how calm they appeared on the surface, but in their hearts, they still had some disdain for this outsider, the Lin family.
Of course, for this cold buttocks, Lin Zhen Tian obviously didn't have the mood to use a hot face to stick to it. These years of open and secret struggles, if he wasn't also having some means, the Lin family would probably have been driven away from Qingyang Town like a dog in mourning by the Lei and Xie families long ago. Therefore, although the Lei and Xie families were hostile towards the Lin family, his hatred for the Lei and Xie families was exceptionally intense.
With the Lin family's entry, there were also many powerful people and horses appearing one after another from behind, making the atmosphere on the scene even more fiery.
Lin Dong also sat down on a stone chair, his eyes looking down at the dense thicket below, and faintly, it seemed that he could hear some fierce beast roaring sounds.
For those ferocious beasts in the jungle, Lin Dong was not very concerned. With his current strength, as long as he didn't encounter a truly powerful demon beast, ordinary ferocious beasts wouldn't be able to pose much of a threat to him.
Yao beasts, a being more terrifying than fierce beasts. It is said that even the worst yao beast can easily tear apart anyone below the seventh level of body refinement. Moreover, some powerful yao beasts not only possess intelligence but also have the ability to use energy, making their killing power exceptionally terrifying.
However, generally speaking, the demon beasts are hidden deep in the mountains. Since this place is bustling with people, it's unlikely that a demon beast will appear. Therefore, the biggest opponent in this hunt is still those other participants. In order to snatch the identity plates from others' hands, they will surely use every means possible.
Of course, all kinds of cunning means are also extremely fragile in the face of true strength. Now Lin Dong has such qualifications and confidence.
While Lin Dong was sizing up the terrain of the forest, he suddenly discovered that the atmosphere of the Beast Arena was slightly different. He turned his head and saw a large group of people rushing into this area, with the same pattern on their chests.
"Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall."
As the most rapidly rising force in Qingyang Town, the emergence of Kuangdao Wuguan has undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention.
His gaze swept across the crowd at the Crazy Blade Martial Arts Academy, and then stopped on a figure in the front. It was a man with a slightly thin build, his face expressionless, with several intersecting scars on his cheeks that added to his ferocity. At his waist, there was a long, black cloth-wrapped object that looked like a long sword.
"That's the master of Kuangdao Wuguan, Kuanglei Dao Luocheng. The rapid rise of Kuangdao Wuguan is closely related to him. He is also a high-ranking expert in Tianyuan realm. If I'm not mistaken, he has probably reached the late stage of Tianyuan realm and is only one step away from reaching Yuanyuan Dan realm. Looking around Qingyang Town, there are probably no more than five people who can exchange blows with him without losing." Lin Xiao said softly beside Lin Dong.
Lin Dong nodded slightly in surprise, he didn't expect Luo Cheng to be so formidable.
"When he first came to Qingyang Town and wanted to establish the Kuangdao Wuguan, both the Lei and Xie families intervened. He directly challenged Lei Bao, withstood his three palms, and even slashed a knife on Lei Bao's chest. That desperate Three Lang's momentum made the Lei and Xie families retreat in disarray."
"Haha, this Luo City is extremely tyrannical and extremely protective of its own. Even the Lei and Xie families don't dare to be too excessive towards the Kuangdao Wuguan. These guys only understand force, not reason."
Lin Dong nodded silently, Luo Cheng and Lin Zhen Tian were both self-made men, but they had taken different paths, and their personalities were also different. Luo Cheng was fierce and overbearing, while Lin Zhen Tian was good at hiding his light and developing in secret, but overall, both of them were quite capable.
As Lin Dong and Lin Xiao spoke in hushed tones, the group of people from the Crazy Blade Dojo also approached. Lin Zhen Tian stood up with a smile, cupped his hands together in greeting towards Luo Cheng, who responded with a stiff smile on his expressionless face. Over the years, due to the rejection by the Lei and Xie families, the Crazy Blade Dojo had actually become closer to the Lin family, and their relationship was not bad.
"Hey, it seems you're really going hunting this time." As he exchanged greetings with Lin Zhen Tian in Luo City, a figure also rushed to Lin Dong's side, who was none other than Wu Yun, whom they had met at the Trading Post last time.
As for Wu Yun, Lin Dong also had some good feelings and nodded with a smile.
"When the time comes for hunting to begin, if there's an opportunity, we can cooperate. Lei Li and Xie Yingying will definitely join forces with those little girls, one against two, it's still a bit troublesome." Wu Yun said with a smile.
Lin Dong also smiled and nodded in response to Wu Yun's suggestion, without refusing.
"Is he the Lin Dong you mentioned, who took a punch from Lei?" asked Luo Cheng, who was talking to Lin Zhen Tian on the side, suddenly turning his head and looking at Lin Dong.
"Lin Dong has seen the master of the pavilion." Lin Dong scratched his head and immediately said respectfully.
Luocheng's gaze swept across Lindong with a hint of sharpness, and finally nodded, saying: "A good seedling, the Lin family is blessed."
Lin Zhentian also stroked his beard, with a smile all over his face. He knew that Luo Cheng's eyes were always sharp and critical, so getting such an evaluation was not easy at all.
Luocheng was obviously not a talkative person, so after exchanging a few words, he bid farewell and led the people from Kuangdao Wuguan to sit down in another location.
From start to finish, he didn't even glance at the two families of Lei and Xie, nor did he have any intention of going over to greet them. Lin Zhen Tian could occasionally handle such situations, but Luo Cheng was not bothered to do so.
With the arrival of Kuangdao Wuguan, the several major forces in Qingyang Town were basically all present. As the sun rose higher and higher, Lei Bao also stood up, his deep-set eyes scanning the scene. Under his cold gaze, the noise in the Beast Horn Arena also slightly subsided. The Lei family still had a considerable deterrent effect within a hundred miles of Qingyang Town.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the most lively day in Qingyang Town. The rules of the hunt, I won't say more, as long as you can get ten identity cards, you will be able to board that giant platform, where the true hunting champion will be born."
The low voice of the Thunder Leopard, under the mixture of its yuan force, echoed throughout the Beast Horn Arena, making it possible for everyone to hear clearly.
"The identity cards have been issued to each household, next, the identity cards will be given to the young members of this household who will participate in the hunting competition, enter the beast horn arena and start the hunt!"
"Be careful, take the ID card and be extra cautious." Lin Xiao looked at Lin Zhen Tian, saw him nodding, then took out a black and yellow wooden plaque from his bosom. The wooden plaque had a "Lin" character engraved on it along with some intricate patterns.
Under the envious gaze of some people in the Lin family, Lin Dong solemnly accepted this identity card. Lin Shentian's willingness to hand over the identity card to him clearly indicated that he had already been chosen to participate in the hunt and compete for a place on behalf of the Lin family.
He stuffed the wooden sign into his bosom, Lin Dong nodded silently, without saying anything else. Looking at the many figures that were jumping down from the Beast Arena to the dense forest below, he took a deep breath and walked two steps forward, standing at the edge of the high platform.
As Lin Dong was about to set off, Lei Zhe and his family from the two households not far away also walked out slowly. Lei Zhe had a smile all over his face as he looked at Lin Dong, suddenly stretched out his thumb, and gently pointed downwards, while his mouth opened and closed.
Although no sound came, Lin Dong still recognized the mouth shape, and Lei Li said: "It's time to pay back."
Looking at Lei Li, Lin Dong also suddenly smiled, his mouth opening and closing, then turned around and jumped off the high platform, falling into the Beast Fighting Arena.
Looking at Lin Dong's figure, Lei Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled softly, with a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes, he also saw through Lin Dong's words.
Lin Dong said: "I'll wait for you."
